Yes. I agree. (I did this in the post, btw). No one knows what the future looks like. Some people won't have much of a choice. It's also true that real change happens when we're in crisis mode. These concerns have a better chance of being heard now, compared to "normal" times. I also feel like "slow to heed the warnings" in America will also mean "slow to heed the call back to work."Mickey wrote:Might be useful to differentiate between people itching to go back to work and people itching to escape from virus-induced financial precarity.

I'm like 10 weeks post op. It feels stable, I just don't have range of motion back and deal with mild soreness.

How's your shoulder? I assume any surgery you had planned got pushed back as an elective procedure.
Have you been dislocated since?

Re: Anybody want a Corona?
The weird thing was that they started with a travel ban from the EU, but not one from the UK. Seemed like a political move, not one based on the spread of the virus.

Seth Meyers had a good observation. He says that Trump definitely owns stock in the company that makes hydroxychloroquine, because it's a six syllable word and he NEVER stumbles on it.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
